Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
dr-rbosh1997 This movie is pure, full of power of love, a heartbreaker story with dad and his son. I enjoyed watching it with my every single tear, honestly it approached a deep length in my heart and let me feel there're still more time to forgive, to change and to love. The movie in general was too short I didn't feel the time passed, the actors were fantastic. It's kind of movies you can watch alone and got ideas and you can watch it with others and got more ideas about life. The musics are amazing and the only thing I didn't like is the dad character I was expected the very very monster human ever ! yeah he's bad but not as bad as I thought. personally I experienced the same thing Bart did. Finally, I hope all kids who are suffering from abuse got their help in life.
fishernicholas Love this movie. Great actors and shows how life can be true.
Chev Olek I can only imagine most of the good reviews came from christians and pastors. I thought the movie and acting felt cheesy. Dennis Quaid was the only actor who did a good job. I have enjoyed christian movies and soundtracks such as Fireproof but it was hard for me to watch. I just couldn´t buy the acting and the cheesy script. It felt unrealistic. As an additional note, there is only the CD with the score music on sale and not the soundtrack with the songs performed by MercyMe and the other bands/singers, that does not exist.
pwtatl Well made and compelling, with some sag now and then and an intrusive, overbearing score, this is a moving story about forgiveness and the crazy music business. However, it's not about Jesus Christ or the Gospel. Our Savior is barely (if at all) mentioned. The SOURCE of all forgiveness, His death for all sin and resurrection-the GOOD NEWS!- is never presented. Some characters even attribute the song "I Can Only Imagine", to changing their lives--not Jesus Christ! The abusive father's life change apparently came through listening to a magic radio. Then there is the absurd glorification of worldly success. This is a nice religious movie for a comfortable church goer about a magic song that can magically change lives.
